ABOUT US



ABOUT US
We are from Cornwall, England.
We love to travel and to explore places in a campervan. We find wide open spaces exhilarating
and do lots of walking. Show us an accessible hill or mountain and we want to go up it.
We like watching birds but are not twitchers. To be honest Lawson is more into bird spotting than me but what I find amazing
is the diversity of birdlife, and the fact birds of all sizes continue to live side by side with us humans. So, in the course of our explorations
we may make a detour to the local dump because more often than not it will be one of the best places to see birds.
We are sure New Zealand will not disappoint us when it comes to birds but what about other wildlife and natural wonders?
Will we encounter anything to beat the sight of polar bears on sea ice at the North Pole?
And what will we think of the house at Paraparaumu that Ron and Vivien have built? All will be revealed.......

Heading to Paraparaumu

Today, Thursday 6 March, I'm in the public library at Picton - just along the coast from Nelson. We'll be taking the interisland ferry from South Island to Wellington, North Island this afternoon.
It's a lovely morning so it should be a good crossing but perhaps a bit rough once we leave Marlborough Sounds, so I have my Kwells at the ready again.

I already feel a little queasy as it is because we spent yesterday way out on a peninsula in the Sounds and the road out had lots of bends. Tim swayed all over the place.

The plan is to spend most of tomorrow exploring Wellington, and then go to Ron and Vivien in Paraparaumu in the evening.
We can't decide whether we should save all our washing until we get to them.....

One of the walks we did yesterday took us to a place called Eatwell Lookout, and this photo was taken there.
